This is Maine Governor Janet Mills, who just stood up to Trump's attacks on the transgender community. Every Democrat should look to Gov Mills' example, and she absolutely WILL be re-elected.

A rapid build-out of renewables is much-needed, but shouldn't be done on the backs of Indigenous peoples who've already been forced to sacrifice too much in the name of development. That's the takeaway from my latest piece, about energy on Yakama lands: columbiainsight.org/how-renewabl...

Gov. Pritzker's speech is an example of the kind of thing we need to be seeing RIGHT NOW from every Democratic governor and member of Congress!

Every presidential candidate makes promises they can't keep and exaggerates what they'll be able to accomplish once in office. But Trump 2.0 has set a new, shameful standard for campaigning on one platform and switching to a completely different set of priorities immediately after being sworn in.

The United States has no king. Period. And any public official who won't push back against the President referring to himself that way is a coward unfit for office

Imagine the outrage from Republicans if Obama or Biden had ever once referred to himself as "king." The hypocrisy of the GOP apparently knows no bounds.

It should be no surprise that, even with the most conservative Supreme Court in recent history, Musk/Trump/Vance would be complaining and whining about the courts. The judicial branch is one of the only checks on them seizing unlimited power.

Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship was immediately halted in court. His freeze on federal grants was blocked. He caved to Canada & Mexico on tariffs within days. His Gaza plan appears dead on arrival. He's done nothing to lower prices. This is not a strong or capable president.
